FutureBuild 2026 by Pinnacle to Bring Insightful US AECO Industry Conversations to San Francisco

Pinnacle’s construction tech conference to connect market momentum of data centers, semiconductor fabs, and power infrastructure with the who’s who of AECO

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The US construction industry is entering a defining moment. Demand for data centers, semiconductor facilities, and grid and power infrastructure is accelerating, reshaping where investment is flowing – and how complex projects need to be designed, engineered, delivered, and operated.

That is the conversation Pinnacle’s FutureBuild 2026 conference is bringing to San Francisco on October 8-9, 2026, at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront.

Under the theme “Construction Lifecycle. Reimagined.”, FutureBuild remains anchored in Pinnacle’s four core AECO pillars: Digital Design, BIM Engineering & Construction, Digital Construction Management, and Digital Operations Management. Across these pillars, three market threads will take center stage: Data Center, Semiconductor, and Grid & Power Infrastructure.

Speaking about the event, CEO & co-founder at Pinnacle, Bimal Patwari, remarked, “The pace of change across the built environment is extraordinary, but technology alone will not define what comes next. The real opportunity lies in bringing people, expertise, and technology together to solve increasingly complex challenges. FutureBuild was created for that exchange – to learn from the industry’s best, challenge conventional thinking, and shape a more connected future for construction.”

The focus reflects the scale and urgency of the US market. Data center construction spend is projected to reach $85.3 billion in 2026, while $640 billion has been announced across 140 semiconductor projects in 30 states. Meanwhile, US investor-owned utilities are forecasting approximately $1.3 trillion in capital expenditure from 2026 to 2030, driven in part by the growing demand for power from large-load customers.

Pinnacle is already delivering across all three segments in the US. At FutureBuild, that experience will serve as the starting point for three dedicated panel discussions, bringing industry perspectives into the room on the challenges, opportunities, and technologies shaping these critical markets.

“The most important conversations in construction right now are happening around real market pressures: power availability, speed to delivery, complexity, and the need to do more with better data. From data centers and semiconductor facilities to grid infrastructure, we want the attendees at FutureBuild to hear what is working, learn from their peers, and leave with ideas they can put into practice”, said Biswaroop Todi, Vice President at Pinnacle.

But the summit is designed to be bigger than three conversations.

From owners and developers to architects, engineers, contractors, consultants, technology providers, and facility leaders, FutureBuild gives every project stakeholder a place at the table. Attendees can hear directly from leading voices across the industry, exchange experiences with peers facing similar challenges, explore technology in action, and build relationships that extend well beyond the two-day conference.
The result is an experience centered on learning, connection, and the conversations that move the industry forward.

With influential voices from leading organizations across technology, construction, engineering, and infrastructure joining the program, FutureBuild 2026 offers a rare opportunity to hear what is happening inside the projects and markets shaping the next chapter of the built environment.
